and now, deep thoughts

one of the best things about v.v.'s performance in Return to Paradise (that's what i'm calling vince, now) is the part where his character is struggling with whether or not to be true to himself and who is that self, anyway? something about the development of his character during this process seems almost shakespearean, to me. but i did read some critical reviews of his performance-- such reliable sources as the back of the video box compare him with a young, funny Brando. some even say he is like the proverbial spawn of elvis and ann margaret, i think i read somewhere. i'm obviously biased, here. i hear vince has put on a few pounds... he'll have to get a trainer.
